    I tried the app on my phone, ZTE828, and it worked fine. But when I tried it on my mom's phone, 559, I had to grant permissions every time I clicked on the icon. It was a bit inconvenient as I prefer apps that require fewer clicks and questions. I couldn't figure out the issue. When I checked the app access through settings on her phone, I saw that no permissions were granted, even though I had uninstalled it before.

    The app was okay, but the widgets were disappointing because there weren't as many as promised. I installed Nova launcher and that solved the problem.

    It's so useful for finding the best signal in my old building at work. It takes a few seconds to get a reading, but I discovered that switching my phone to 4G LTE was faster than using 5G in that area. It really helped me avoid a lot of headaches.

    You bought premium version on Oct 8 2019, but today it's gone and back to free version. The latency widget is missing. Do I need to buy the app again? I contacted the developer, they were helpful. I cleared data, uninstalled and re-installed the app. Problem solved! Thanks for the quick response. Thank you.

    The widget keeps changing sizes, but the developer is aware and working on it. The app works great, showing wifi and mobile signal strength which is helpful, especially when you're traveling or in a new place.

    It's annoying when you click on something and it keeps asking for your data consent. And the worst part is you can't go back from that screen, you're stuck until you agree or close the app. It shows good signal but the connection is bad, even though mobile data signal seems fine.

    This app is awesome for finding the best signal spots. I use it all the time and have been using it for years. It might need a new look, but the current one makes it easy to use without confusion. I haven't checked the reviews, but it definitely deserves five stars.
